We spent around 10 days at the Blue Lotus villa, having a wonderful vacation, mostly diving.So we had this nice villa to relax after an exiting day , spent the afternoon at the pool and had our drinks on the veranda. The villa is well equipped with all necessary stuff to do your cooking, in case you want to. We preferred the excellent restaurants close by and only did breakfast at our place. Everythiing was well provided. In case you need something additional just feel free to call Roy, the owner. He even was so kind to meet us on our way back to the airport to bring the the forgotten beauty bag and jacket of my daughter. A very nice guy. Every two days two people come to clean pool and garden. So I can only recommend ths place for a comfortable and relaxed stay at an reasonable price.

I stayed here with my 86 year old father, brother and 11 yr old niece from the US for 6 nights in the 1st villa nearest the gate. The villa was very clean, aircon units a godsend and Roy welcoming and very helpful especially when we didn't know how to use the shower which unlike the UK is electric and has sockets in the shower area on a far wall but a lot of MAU homes are like this. In fact, the water was a problem as it was either too hot or too cool for the different ages in the house but it was not a downer as the rest was great. The kitchen came fully equipped and the washing machine and fridge were new. The pool was fantastic and cleaned every day by the gardener. Unlike the last reviewer, other than the water temperature and some ants, our villa was spotlessly clean as were the linen and blankets. Of course, like most things I am sure that the exterior and some interior elements could do with cosmetic upgrade but I do not agree with the 'filth' remark at all. In fact, all kitchen counters, floors etc. were so clean we did not have to do much to maintain it and we tended to cook and use the washing machine everyday. The main road is not obvious from the pool until you see the tops of the buses and the traffic is only busy-ish during peak periods. My room was at the front of the house and other an occasional car late at night, there was little traffic and certainly not at a level that would either wake me up or keep me awake. This is a homely villa, not a 5* hotel. The walk downhill to the beach was not so bad and there was a short-cut and the beaches here are the most beautiful on the island. The village shops were about 8-10 minutes walk away and café diner, pizzeria and shops at the bottom of the road and the beach lane across the road. These villas are also very secure and there is very little pedestrian traffic on the road that borders the side of the garden.

My wife and I had saved long and hard for a three week stay in Mauritius, and we have been tricked by the false information contained on the Flip-key and Trip-advisor sites - all provided by the nice gentle smiling Mr Roy Hardowar. He certainly smiled as we handed over the sterling cash remaining of our £900 stay.

We had the unfortunate experience of staying in the middle villa of the thee so called villas, the first being occupied, the third being decorated.

Not one of the rooms of this 3 bedroom 2 bathroom "villa" is anywhere near close to the touched up professional photos provided of Trip-advisor or flikey sites. I attached photos of the filth and disgusting state of the property, also the illegal and dangerous electrical shower unit - a veritable death trap.

The noise, incredible, the "villas" are situated on a main road with non-stop heavy traffic 24 hours a day, to add to this the water pump was faulty and cuts in every 1.5 minute of the day with the ferocity of a karcher, then the joy of the 04:00 hour wake up from the blast of the swimming pool pump, unfortunately not powerful enough to keep the water clean.

Mouse droppings all over, filthy floors, bathrooms, kitchen, bedrooms, I'll stop now just have a look at the photos taken on our departure. Suffice it to say, we left after three noise filled sleepless nights. Three nights stay for £888 , well done Mr Roy Hardowar, you certainly had us over matey!

We are quite shocked and surprised by this review which contains loads of false and inaccurate information.The guest checked in for a stay at BLV. I met him on a daily basis and enquired if his stay was going on fine.At no point in time did he inform me that he was not satisfied or had problems as mentioned or "invented" in this review.

Cleanliness and safety are amongst and remain our top priorities and we are amazed to read the false statements in this review about filthy floors, droppings etc. Our bathrooms are catered with both electrical and gas showers. Morever, each villa is fitted with an (ELCB) Earth Leakage Breaker Circuit, for enhanced safety.

BLV is a self catering accommodation within a compound of 3 villas as advertised on Flipkey. We do admit that it is not a five- star hotel and as such the rates charged are in accordance.Despite the fact that the guest checked out without informing us and leaving the keys of the villa unattended, we have already informed him that he will be refunded for the days that he did not stay at BLV.

Our priority has been and remains the utmost satisfaction of our guests and their comfort and safety.

In addition to the paradise beauty of Mauritius, the lovely apartment of Blue Lotus Villas, as well as the hospitality and generosity of its owner, Mr. Roy Hardowar, made our 2 week vacation unforgettable experience for all my family. I warmly recommend Mauritius and Blue Lotus Villas in Flic-en-Flac to everyone who wants beautiful tropical nature, warm and hospital people, a bit of adventure and unforgettable vacation.
